Hip-Hop

No, this is not a thread for people completely ignorant of a genre to bash what they haven't heard.

I would like to know of some good hip-hop bands people from this forum enjoy. I prefer stuff without lyrics, just the instrumentals.

So please, lend me some suggestions.

 

[Sundazed]

And I would like some good metal without guitars.

My suggestion would be look in the Kareoke section of your music store.

I sincerely hope you are kidding about this.

 

[Life Sucks]

There is such a thing as hip hop without lyrics? The lyrics are what turns me off to hip hop the most, as I can't stand hearing someone brag in his lyrics about how he gets chicks and how he's rich. I assume that there are a good amount of underground hip hop artists that don't have such inane lyrics, but I do not know of any.

 

[Raumien]

There are plenty who don't, and yes, there are many hip hop artists that use little to no vocals, which is what I enjoy.

 

[Sundazed]

Hiphop without lyrics... sounds like dance music to me.

 

[Life Sucks]

It would be interesting to have hip hop with death metal style lyrics. Or to have metal guitars to hip hop.

 

[Raumien]

There' hip-hop with guitars, plenty of it. Most of the hip hop I listen to is prettymuch the same instruments as a metal band, minus vocals and add a dj.

No vocals and distorted guitars? It technically doesn't classify as hip hop then. Well, at least not straight up hip hop, maybe a hip hop/ metal hybrid.

Paris, The Coup, of course Public Enemy...

 

[speed]

The ROOTS- Phrenology this is the album you want- but it has singing- it wouldnt be hip hop without vocals.

There is a rapper by the name of Necro, he has some seriously fucked up lyrics. For example, one song named 'Dead Body Disposal' has him going on about many ways to properly dispose of a body and cover up evidence, so as not to get caught. Can be funny, or scary, depending on the one listening. He raps about Satan, too. Read for yourself, if you want.

Dead Body Disposal Lyrics
Artist(Band):Necro

Let's talk about dead body disposal
My proposal take the corpse to the bathtub
And drain the blood out of the bastard
Strip ya self new first so you don't get blood on ya new shirt
And cut the fuckin' corpse up like a butcher to meat kid
And put the pieces inside trash bags
So she'll be wreaking like a fags ass
With flesh covered in leeches
And throw the bags away
In various trash bins in different areas
This shit's hilarious
Nobody notices some asshole taking out the garbage
Who would know it's a carcass?
Even if they were focusing 'cause the plastic bag is dark kid
And even the nosy bitch wouldn't open it, it make no sense
And if you do it just before a trash pick up
The bodies hauled away before it decays and stinks up
It won't be noticed but literally turns up other shit
And ya bag is in the middle buried right under it
Especially if you double-bagged it
Ya victim'll stay a faggot in fragments forever stagnet

[Chorus]
Dead Body Disposal
For those that don't know what to do after ya foes are killed
Shit could get messy when the blood flow spills
You never know when you might need to know skills
In body disposal it's no frills
Dead Body Disposal
Are you interested in hearing my proposal?

Bodies begin to stink within an hour of death
And if it's warm outside then it's quicker for the sour stench to leak out
the flesh
So think about the steps
You taking killing and be willing to consider the best
Be extra careful and grab an aerosol can of pepper spray
to coat the pieces the smell is unbearable
Hold the first layer of bag beautifully
that'll keep animals from tearing open the bag to get to the meat
Squirrels, dogs, and birds
Officers with dogs that smell won't find shit when they thrown off the scent
You could hang a fuck upside down in ya tub
And slit his throat from ear to ear to remove a large amount of blood
Most of it'll gush out on a tunnel once
But to get that last couple of pints drained work his arms like pumps
For dismemberment gentlemen I recommend
heavy duty brawn saws that cut through gendleums like pendulums
But if you want to take your time don't rush it
either cut each piece off like Pizza Hut pizza with a rusty cleaver
Then put each piece up in a freezer
Take out the trash in a couple of days the stench of decomposition's meager
And make sure there's no incriminating papers in the bag
Letters, receipts, anything with ya name they'll trace ya

I know it's obvious but you'd be amazed at how easy it is
to be sloppy with this even the Mafia slips

Dead Body Disposal
For those that don't know what to do after ya foes are killed
Shit could get messy when the blood flow spills
You never know when you might need to know skills
In body disposal it's no frills

Let's talk about death baby
Disintegration of flesh you'll see
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
In hacking up ya meat

Let's talk about death baby
Disintegration of flesh you'll see
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
In hacking up ya meat
Let's talk about that!

There's more choices to choose kid
Bury the corpse in the ground, bury it at sea or the pieces get distributed
When using the ground a shallow grave isn't allowed
'Cause the corpse'll be found when the stench of it lingers out
Make sure it's six feet deep or more
Construction sites work in formented
In what's cemented suspended beneath the floor
Using the sea has its potential sequentionally
The sea destroys all evidence eventually
But make sure that you tie a weight to the body to keep it from floating
around and being discovered by mistake
Drop it as far from shore as possible otherwise it'll pop up at low tide or
be seen by some fisherman's opticals
Distributing! Body parts is riveting
I explained it in verbs once forgive me if I begin again
A wood chipper turns a corpse into chopped meat
Spread it all over ya grass then water it down properly
Within a few days the cadaver's fertilizer
Your advisor's taught you ways of covering up murders wiser
Regardless how you tried these methods
Be careful with prints and rented equipment use cash and fake id's

[Chorus]
Dead Body Disposal
For those that don't know what to do after ya foes are killed
Shit could get messy when the blood flow spills
You never know when you might need to know skills
In body disposal it's no frills
Dead Body Disposal
Are you interested in hearing my proposal?
Shit could get messy when the blood flow spills
You never know when you might need to know skills
In body disposal it's no frills

Let's talk about death baby
Disintegration of flesh you'll see
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
In hacking up ya meat
Let's talk about that!

So as for my personal opinion, metal is obviously my favorite genre of music, however, I do enjoy a few things from every genre as well. The image that hip-hop is portrayed as on MTV is the equivalent of how metal (nu-metal, I should say) is seen on MTV. Both do not have very good images to the mainstream where us underground listeners are concerned. And I have said this many, many times before, every genre of music has its shit and its good stuff, rap and metal included.

 

[Life Sucks]

Lol that Necro song is kind of funny. I've never heard rap lyrics like that before. I somehow get the feeling that the guy doesn't sell many records like 50 Cent or Snoop Dogg do.

 

[Mr. Palomar]

No, this is not a thread for people completely ignorant of a genre to bash what they haven't heard.

I would like to know of some good hip-hop bands people from this forum enjoy. I prefer stuff without lyrics, just the instrumentals.

So please, lend me some suggestions.

W/o lyrics . . . . Well, DJ Shadow. Get Entroducing.

Also check out DJ Spooky. He is on a recording of Kraanerg by Iannis Xenakis, who is arguably the most awesome composer of the second half of the twentieth century.

Rjd2's Deadringer is pretty good, if a bit overrated.

Amon Tobin has some hip-hop elements in his work. All of what I have heard of his is amazing, but I like his latest album best.

However you should really check out some stuff with lyrics:

Nas- Illmatic
Company Flow- Funcrusher Plus
Tribe Called Quest- Low End Theory
Dalek- From the Filthy Tongues of Gods and Griots
Mr Liff- I Phantom
Aesop Rock- Labor Days
Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Blackalicious- Blazing Arrow
The Roots- Things Fall Apart
GZA/Genius- Liquid Swords
Public Enemy- It Will Take a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back
cLOUDDEAD- cLOUDDEAD
Dr Octagon- Dr Octogonecologyst
Antipop Consortium- Tragic Epilogue
Wu-Tang Clan- Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Cannibal Ox- The Cold Vein

Quote-"metal guitars to hip hop."

This combination is fuckin' awesome, I listen to a lot of speedcore that uses thes styles together, in my opinion these are the best kinds of tracks when they're put together right...

Nas - Illmatic
Nas - It Was Written

These two releases are probably my favourite hip hop releases...Well worth buying/listening to...

 

[BodomPrincess]

There's always trip-hop... it's like techno with hip hop mixed together and it has lesser lyrics, especially less "YO YO YO!" lyrics... like Portishead and stuff.

 

[Belgar]

It would be interesting to have hip hop with death metal style lyrics. Or to have metal guitars to hip hop.

Isn't nu-metal the hip hop for teenagers?
Play guitar 6 strings but use only 2, use a bass and only use 1 string a la korn. hahahah have a big ass drumkit and only use the same old lame beat.

 

[Palmer Eldritch]

There is a rapper by the name of Necro, he has some seriously fucked up lyrics.

He's the producer of the ONLY hiphop-track I really like: 'Agent Orange' by Cage. Best part of that track is the sampled Clockwork Orange theme, though.

 

[Anthony]

Are Cypress Hill hip-hop? If yes, then I like it! Stoned Riders rule!!!

The hip hop for teenagers? That's 50 Cent, Nelly, and Snoop Dogg. Nu Metal doesn't have that much in common with hip hop IMO except for the occasional rapped vocals.

Right on!

So please, lend me some suggestions.

Babu (Dilated Peoples/Beat Junkies), The Alchemist (Dilated Peoples/a bunch of other shit), DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill/Soul Assassins), DJ Premier (Gangstarr/loads of other shit).

On the more techno side, DJ Qbert, Kid Koala and DJ Honda.

You might want to look into breakbeat and turntablism.

DJ Shadow's a good call. Dark ambiance with hot scratchin'.

I've heard DJ Spooky, but I don't remember what it was like.
